Thei disciple r sh is too ip import to let thant em forget.
The writer of Psalm 33 is spending time recognizing how every piece of creation is not a competitor of God’s power or sovereignty over His creation. It spotlights the unimaginable weight and depth of God’s power. Every mountain, valley, ocean, and creature points to the power, wisdom, and loving control God exercises over His creation.

God created humanity in His image. He created us unlike any other creature to deeply and intimately know Him and reflect His character to all of creation. Though sin has separated us from God, if we have given our lives to Christ, we have been restored to a right relationship with Him. This means that as Christ-followers, God has called and equipped us to live and reflect Christ to all of creation.

STUDENT MINISTRY THAT MATTERS Ben Trueblood Is my student ministry healthy? This is a question every student minister has asked. It’s a question that brings both anger and tears. You are growing in numbers, but something just doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t feel healthy. This is the “there must be more to student ministry than this” moment.
ACCELERATE Richard Ross Accelerate, written by Richard Ross, is a book designed to help parents challenge and parent their students in fresh, new ways. Soon you may see your own high-school graduates well on their way to adulthood, deeply in love with Christ, and wanting nothing more than His glory.
Regardless of your ministry context, church size, denomination, or years of experience, it is possible for you to have a healthy student ministry. The three essentials, explained by author Ben Trueblood, will lead you to that very thing. Student Ministry That Matters gives you, and your leaders, a framework to answer this question, “Is my student ministry healthy?” and help you highlight areas of improvement as you seek to lead a student ministry focused on health.

His letter is filled with practical wisdom for Christians, calling us to live out genuine faith through good works as an outpouring of our love for Jesus. Perhaps more than any other book in the New Testament, James emphasizes the application of Christian beliefs in everyday life.

JESUS AMONG SECULAR GODS Ravi Zacharias & Vince Vitale Throughout Paul’s writing in the New Testament are warnings to discern and avoid the elemental forces that seek to separate believers from the love and truth of Jesus. The rise of these secular gods presents the most serious challenge to the Christian worldview and mission: the devaluation and dismissal of Christian beliefs by modern culture, and the ridicule of its followers. Jesus Among Secular Gods seeks to help Christians defend their faith against other modern worldviews, including atheism, hedonism, relativism, and humanism.

BIG QUESTIONS Andy McLean Big Questions: Developing a Christ-Centered Apologetic is an apologetic study designed to equip students to think biblically and apologetically about some of today’s toughest topics relating to the Christian faith. Bringing in some of today’s leading Christian apologists to contribute—William Lane Craig, J.P. Moreland, Sean McDowell, and Craig Hazen—Big Questions takes students to another level of being able to explain why they believe what they believe. Questions relating to doubts, evidence for God’s existence, the relationship between science and Christianity, the existence of world religions, the problem of evil and suffering, and how to live apologetically in the world today are covered throughout the study, all for the purpose of not only strengthening a student’s faith, but to help that student defend and commend the faith to others.

TRUTH MATTERS Andreas Köstenberger, Darrell Bock, & Josh Chatraw Easy to read yet loaded with substance, Truth Matters is a level-headed reaction to those who equate Christian faith with “blind faith,” even those whose subtle or stated goal is to separate students from their religious traditions. Readers will discover the kind of historical information and thinking skills that build a sturdy backbone of confidence in high schoolers and young adults, making them able to defend by “reasoned faith” what the Bible claims as truth. Things like: What gives the Bible any authority or credibility? Where is God in a world full of suffering? Why should Christianity be any more believable than any other religious system? And many, many more.

TO THE ONE WHO CONQUERS Freedom from Sin Through the Revelation of Christ
D.A. HORTON
TO THE ONE WHO CONQUERS D.A. Horton The Book of Revelation begins with seven letters to seven different churches of the first century. In To The One Who Conquers, D. A. Horton explores the challenges, failures, expectations, and victories of these early churches. Through this careful examination, we discover the cultural implications for that time as well as the ways John’s prophetic vision still applies. Despite our best appearances, today’s churches have shortcomings like those of the churches in Asia Minor. Yet, there’s still time to embrace the mission God has for His Church today. (6 sessions)

JEFF SIMMONS
Jeff Simmons Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount are loving yet challenging, empowering yet convicting. As counter-cultural today as it was then, the Sermon on the Mount describes what the kingdom of God is and what should be the character, attitudes, and actions of those who live as Christ’s disciples. Driven dives into Matthew 5-7 and explores Jesus’ expectations for His followers— laying and building a foundation for the Christian life. This study is based on FUGE’s popular camp theme.

THE QUEST Beth Moore Curiosity is hardwired in humanity. We have an innate need to question and seek after what we don’t know or understand. This is an invitation to ponder the deeper questions of faith with confidence and humble expectation.
RACHEL & LEAH Nicki Koziarz There is a quiet question that every girl asks in her heart at some point in her life: “Why her?” Or better yet, “Why not me?” Comparison is a struggle that many girls constantly combat, often lasting well into their adult years. That same thread of comparison was a challenge throughout the lives of Rachel and Leah in the Bible. With the transforming Word of God, girls will take an honest look at themselves, learn how God’s truth combats their tendency to compare, and discover the fullness of living as the young women God created them to be. (6 sessions)
Adapted from the LifeWay Women’s resource, The Quest: Daring to Know the Heart of God will challenge girls to delve into Scripture to explore how God created them to seek after Him—a God who desires to be found and known.

ALL THINGS NEW Kelly Minter The city of Corinth was like our communities and cities—full of people and full of problems. In the middle of this busy metropolis, an early church was struggling to make a difference. Paul challenged the church to share the message of reconciliation—the gospel—despite hardship, pain, and struggle. He encouraged the new believers, reminding them the gospel was meant to thrive in circumstances such as these. Over the course of this study, Kelly Minter will lead girls through the Letter of 2 Corinthians to discover how Paul’s encouragement to the believers in Corinth challenges the church and young women today. This Bible study also includes leader helps and 7 weeks of personal study to be completed between group sessions. As new creations in Christ, we are to spread the message of Jesus’ grace, comfort, and generosity with the world. In the way we live, we must boldly declare that He makes all things new. (8 sessions)

THIS MEANS WAR Stephen and Alex Kendrick with Troy Schmidt You’ve got battles to fight—on your knees. The teen years can be tough; don’t try to make it through without one of your most powerful weapons—prayer. A companion book to the movie “War Room”, this new kind of journal will get you ready for a new kind of prayer life, one that’s strong, growing, and reflects just how powerful prayer is. Each short chapter tackles one of the biggest questions teens have about prayer, questions such as: Why pray, anyway? What should I pray for? Are selfish prayers okay? Who should I pray for? Am I really supposed to pray for my enemies too? Will God listen? And will He answer? Just-right journaling prompts will then get you thinking—and praying—and reinforce the real power of fighting battles on your knees. Paperback 005765911 $12.99 Downloadable eBook 005766163 $6.99

Join in a quest to tackle the deeper questions of faith.
Curiosity is hardwired in humanity. We have this innate need to question and seek after what we don’t know or understand. This has been true for all of time: throughout history, we have witnessed the people of God ask questions about who He is, who they are, and how they relate to Him. This is an invitation to embrace the unknown and think through the deeper matters of faith. In this 6-session Bible study, author and speaker Beth Moore takes girls on a journey through Scripture to explore how God created us to seek after Him. In this lifelong quest of faith, girls will learn to develop intimacy with Him and embrace the adventure that comes with living a life for God.
